if any of you have read the max car performance thread you know that i got ripped off by some guy named matthew dillon. im posting up again to ask a few more questions. does australia have anything like the better business bureau? you know some organization i could turn to to help me clear this up. would the cops do anything about it? if so could somebody give me the phone number of a local station? $1000us is a lot of cash and i really cant afford to just give up on it. if worse comes to worse im going to fly down there and find this dude. any help you all could give me would be greatly appreciated.

thanks guys

Clay,

Each state in Australia has a Dept of Fair Trading (Queensland) or similar names in other states. Which state did this villian Dillon supposedly reside in?

Let us know and I am sure that someone will be able to give you the contact details or you could search under each State governments web-sites for the relevent department. Failing all that try our Federal Police.

Don't give up mate as worms like this give scrupulous traders a bad name.

Cheers

Murray

Refer to the thread below in regards to information on Maximum Car Performance.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=26793

The local police stations around the area are:

  • Runaway Bay - Morala Ave 4216 (07) 5537 5099 (probably the closest to Labrador)
    Surfers Paradise - 68 Ferny Ave 4217 (07) 5570 7888
    Southport - 96 Scarborough St 4215 (07) 5571 4222

To dial this = international access number + 61 + 07 + 5537 5099

maybe try the ACCC, they deal in this sort of dodgy stuff, but worst comes to worst, call a guy up called 'Ray Martin' he has a show called A current affair, and it shows dodgy buisness men all the time, harrasses them, and they give your moeny back instead of being on tv as being dodgy.

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
